Mulleady’s new menu is less than a week old but its getting rave reviews. The new menu has more offerings and includes seasonal items. Many of the new items have been offered as specials recently and regulars will be happy to learn that 90% of the prices remained the same when they brought in the new menu.

Travis Stanley Jones purchased Mulleady’s two years ago and he says its a classic pub for the neighborhood with families dining early in the evening and the bar crowd moving in later. On the night we visited lots of families enjoying dinner early in the evening.

Executive Chef Andy Beaver has been at the restuarant for 15 months and he has been refining the recipes on the new menu. There are lots of small plates and snacks as well as pub fare and entrees. The same menu is available for lunch and dinner.

Beaver’s menu features classic Irish favorites and he says the Chicken and Oatmeal Dumplings are his favorite. The menu also includes a Reuben on Rye, Grilled Mahi Mahi Wrap, Wild Salmon Sandwich or burgers. Entree selections include Irish Stew, Shepherd’s Pie, Irish Knockers or Roast Chicken.

Prices are reasonable, ranging from $8 to $14 for main dishes and $4 to $8 for snacks and small plates. There are two full bars in the two story restaurant. Beaver says he designed the new menu for diners who enjoy eating well but don’t want to pay too much or get dressed up.

Guests that we talked to were enthusiastic about the new menu and one told us he has never been to Ireland but he thought Mulleady’s atmosphere and food are what he would expect to find in a real Irish pub.

We are especially fond of the cozy area in front of the fireplace.
